I thought it might be fun to record what life with 8 month old twins is like for my future self to look back on, and for anyone who has this experience waiting for them in the near future. I should add that not a day goes by that I don’t think of those who have […]
Well, Father’s Day was busy. It’s hard when the expectations don’t match up to reality, and for us, well it was kind of like if Christmas was really the Valentine’s Day half off sale. It’s all going to be ok though because my husbands real Father’s Day is this weekend when he is playing in […]
Guess who is sleeping again and is in love with the world? Yup. We’re all back to our chipper selves. It’s just in time too because we have a lot trips coming up this month, and it’s my birthday on Friday. This weekend we are headed to my husband’s 20th College Reunion at Bates […]

Last Friday evening, I took my daughters to their first ‘Open Mic’ night. Their piano teacher sets these up a few times a year so students can showcase their pieces they’ve been working on. It had rained on our way there, and the air was heavy and humid when we got out of the car. My daughters skipped through the […]
As you may know if you follow me on Instagram, Monday April 30th was my son’s birthday, and the birthday boy requested spaghetti and meatballs, so that was our meal on Monday. Sorry to duplicate. But Tuesday’s dinner was so good, every loved it. Plus I cooked extra pasta and spaghetti squash on Monday so […]
Do you like Peanut Butter? Chicken Satay? Then you are in for a treat my friends. Its hard to put into words how I felt after racing home on a chilly spring afternoon of sports to find this ready in the crock pot. Tears of joy? Maybe. Especially because this was SO easy to make […]
Weekly Meal Plan for 4/23 It is spring here on the East Coast, but there are still some chilly spring days. So our menu still has some crowd-pleasing comfort food that I can put in the crock pot or make ahead since we also have spring sports. Monday: Slow Cooker Meatballs with Spaghetti Squash – […]
